Marquee Matchups consist of 4 challenges that are regularly released every Thursday. They play in domestic league matches and rarely in international matches. Electronic Arts will re-release old and significant fixtures in the form of ‘Throwback Marquee Matchups’, if there are no current fixtures of huge significance. The UEFA Challenge is also held on certain Tuesdays. Finally, although it lasts seven days, only two matches are decided in the UEFA Challenge instead of four, in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League competitions.
